Angelina Jolie in Pakistan Flood Victims Camp

UN "goodwill ambassador" Angelina Jolie is urging people to help those in need in Pakistan.

"From what I understand this situation is on a scale that we've not really seen the likes of; it is on such a huge scale," the actress told the Associated Press. "It is an extraordinarily complex situation. It is not just the floods ... there have been three decades of Pakistanis hosting Afghani people, graciously, and there are still 1.7 million Afghan people here who have need particular to refugee needs. Their needs need to be addressed. There are people displaced by the floods ... all of their homes are washed away."

She added: "Many of them lost their children during the floods, so there's irreparable damage. And then here we're in a situation where these people are displaced from conflict from the wars. So there are many different parts to the needs in Pakistan."

Jolie is traveling to devastated areas and is meeting people involved in the relief efforts as part of her goodwill mission.

Thanks for all the honest appeal and the initiative you have taken. Looking forward to your visit to India as well.You are a public figure and some of the N.G.Os that I am associated with, require funds and if you make an appeal on behalf of all of them,it would do us world of good and we can bring more smiles on the faces of those kids and families which are less privileged and not as fortunate as we most of us are. Do share with me your email ID and I would feel honored to be a part of UNHCR.
